I’d bank on “yes”. Even the “negative reaction” is garnering positivity for it, somehow. I’m finally catching it this Saturday. The negative reaction coming from sad “anti-woke” piss babies is definitely going to fuel a strong second weekend by people either wanting to see it just to spite that crowd or they are curious to see what has all them knickers in a twist. Yeah I've seen a lot of people on Twitter see the rest of us talk about it, and the backlash, and go "Ok, I gotta see it now" lol

Just listened through the Barbie soundtrack. "I'm Just Ken" and "Man I Am" being about the same character and being so vastly different in tone and everything else is so hilarious to me. That's the kind of "he contains multitudes" nonsense I always get behind!

Going to to see this one on Tuesday.
Extremely hype'd. 🙌
.I've been listening "Dance the Night" on repeat the whole day. From the clips I've seen I expect to see one of the greatest films ever made. \o/

I loved it. I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard during a movie.

I think one of the weirdest things to come from this movie I've seen has got to be the blatant ageism by the fandom? Like, "Ryan Gosling's too old to be Ken, Margot Robbie's too old to be Barbie"
I thought it had quieted down since the movie came out and mostly got glowing reviews but I just saw someone say it's too bad Barbie got paired up with an old man and, just, good grief. Ryan's only six years older than I am. People are so weird.

Saw this last night. It was weird. Margot Robbie is the perfect human. Ryan Gosling absolutely killed his role and was hilarious.

If she wasnt a certain age she would have to be Sheldon or Doogie.

This weekend, I watched Barbie and binged Secret Invastion. I have several positive things I could say about the former and very few about the latter.

So... I saw the movie. Maybe I'm an idiot but I don't see what's the big deal about the movie supposedly being feminist propaganda but, then again, I went into the movie that Barbie is catered for little girls and that bitter middle aged men might not be the target audience for this movie.

Finally got to catch it.. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it. I laughed. A lot. But at times I wasn’t sure if I was suppose to? Wasn’t sure if I was laughing at it or with it.
Visuals, obviously, amazing. That “you ever think of death?” line was the first that made me cackle. I actually loved all the subversive elements along with the several deep themes the film sporadically anchors you with. Not all of the humor works..but I thought a lot did.
It kind of reminded me of Thor Love and Thunder. Incredible visuals but the films trying to be a lot and I’m not sure if the execution is as good as the ponderings it frequently drops.
Robbie and Gosling are incredible in their own respective ways. I really think that was about as ideal casting as you were going to get, and I’m not only talking about surface-level. Robbie’s asked to do a lot and she does it. Baby Goose is my favorite actor after Harrison Ford and I really believe any other actor would have flubbed this up.
A lot of beautiful scenes. Some great questions and thoughts put out there. It’s a bit of a mess and I like it. That’s similarly how I felt about love and thunder. It felt like an artist’s expression and I’ll always value that.
End felt absolutely flat for me. It also feels longer than it is, thought it was just me, but peeps I went with agreed.
Some great lines and dialogue throughout. I think I’d easily watch it again. And for the millionth time, I’m really happy for it, and Oppenheimer’s success. Give people reasons to go to the theater that’s not the same tired tropes.

Saw it this weekend and loved it. Ryan Gosling was fantastic, IMO. Him singing Push was hilarious. Margot was outstanding as well. The end was fine for me, but since you mentioned it... it was a tad long. I think the message of the movie was perfectly fine and I wasn't offended that men (Ken's) looked like the dummies and idiots that we are sometimes.
Oh... watching Kingsley Ben-Adir as Gravik for the past month and a half and then seeing him in here was hilarious. He's an excellent actor. He played a completely psychopath and then, essentially, an air-head. LOL
I'm going to see Oppenheimer in IMAX next weekend by myself.

Saw this movie over the weekend (along with Oppenheimer since I'm a basic bitch)
I thought it was a hilarious/imaginative film with really good set/character design.
Unlike most people I actually enjoyed Will Ferrel's character and the scenes he was in
Also it never occurred to me before (not that I really spent a lot of time thinking about the Barbie dolls) that there really isn't a villain in the Barbie Universe so it kinda makes sense that Ken had to be the designated bad guy
This is one of those movies it's best not think too hard about the rules/logic of this universe and some of the implications of what's presented.

There was a LOT in this movie that would probably make QT a fan.
